SUMMARY:Neurobiology and Behavior Seminar with Dr. Alan Urban
DESCRIPTION:How can functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) impact your research\, and what’s next? \nJoin the UCI Department of Neurobiology and Behavior in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Alan Urban\, Assistant Professor of the Department of Neurosciences of KU Leuven Research. \nAbstract: \nFunctional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) is based on Doppler ultrasound to track changes in cerebral blood volume as an indirect readout of evoked neuronal activity. It is similar to fMRI but with better spatiotemporal resolution and fewer technical constraints. Indeed\, fUSI can be performed in head-fixed or freely behaving rodents and allows volumetric images of the entire mouse brain. Proof of concept studies has been conducted in many species\, including primates and humans. fUSI has reached maturity\, and open access hardware and software solutions developed at NERF contribute to a faster and broader adoption by the neuroscience community. This seminar aims to introduce the physical basis of fUSI and present state-of-the-art in the field while providing detailed examples of the most impactful fUSI research. I will also discuss the latest capabilities of fUSI and suggest routes for improving the fUSI technology in the next few years. \nHybrid Event\nThe seminar will be live-streamed via zoom and in person.\nPlease RSVP to let us know how you will attend and receive zoom link. \nIn-Person Meeting: Dale Melbourne Herklotz Conference Room\, the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory 300 Qureshey Research Lab

SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: How does neuronal activity protect the cortex from stroke?
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Stroke is the fifth leading cause for death in the U.S. and No. 1 cause for long term disability. Traditionally\, stroke has been studied in animal models using cellular and molecular techniques\, but little attention has been paid to neuronal activity. In this talk\, I will describe surprising findings in a rat model of ischemic stroke relating sensory stimulation-evoked neuronal activity and stroke. Depending on delivery timing\, sensory stimulation-evoked neuronal activity can protect the cortex from impending damage or exacerbate the damage. I will further elucidate the neuronal and vascular mechanisms underlying the protection and exacerbation processes and describe our accumulating evidence that neuronal activity and cortical structure-function relationship are pivotal players in understanding ischemic stroke outcome. \nBiography: Ron D. Frostig is a professor of neurobiology and behavior and biomedical engineering at UCI. He received his bachelor’s degree in biology and his master’s degree in neurobiology from the Hebrew University\, Israel. He received his doctorate in neuroscience at UCLA\, and was a postdoctoral research scholar in neurobiology at the Rockefeller University. His lab’s major research interests include basic and pre-clinical studies of neocortical structure and function with an emphasis on plasticity.

SUMMARY:Li Zhang\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:“Neural circuits for valence coding\, emotional states\, and motivated behaviors” \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Li Zhang of USC Medical School. \nAbstract: \nThe topic is about our recent studies on neural circuits in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) of the hypothalamus. MPOA plays a critical role in parental and prosocial behaviors via subpopulations of its GABAergic neurons. We now show that MPOA can be more generally viewed to serve as a critical hub to mediate both negative and positive emotional states and related behaviors through its glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons\, respectively\, with the former encoding extremely negative valence and mediating anxiety-like behaviors\, and the latter\, oppositely\, encoding positive valence and producing rewarding effects.  I will discuss the circuitry underlying how MPOA coordinately and antagonistically mediates behaviors related to different emotional states.

SUMMARY:Takaki Komiyama\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Motor cortex circuits for learned movements \nJoin the UCI Center for Neural Circuit Mapping in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Takaki Komiyama\, Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of Neurobiology at UC San Diego. \nThis hybrid seminar will be taking place in the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB)2020 & Telecast via Zoom. \n \nAbstract: \nMotor cortex circuits are highly plastic\, enabling adaptive control and learning of body movements. I will discuss two projects. In the first project\, we studied the spatial and functional specificity of synaptogenesis that occurs during motor learning. This was done by longitudinal functional imaging of dendritic spines followed by correlated electron microscopy. In the second project\, we are investigating the roles of motor cortex ensemble activity in the control of learned movements. This is done by population calcium imaging combined with holographic two-photon optogenetic stimulation of neural ensembles.

SUMMARY:Alyson Zalta\, Ph.D
DESCRIPTION:Exploring morning light therapy as a novel treatment for traumatic stress \nCNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Alyson Zalta\, Associate Professor of Psychological Science at UC Irvine. \nDescription: \nTrauma contributes to a wide variety of mental health problems including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)\, depression\, anxiety\, substance use\, and suicidality. Although front-line psychotherapies and pharmacotherapies exist for traumatic stress\, evidence suggests that many individuals fail to receive treatment\, remain symptomatic despite treatment\, or drop out of treatment before its conclusion. Uptake of these treatments is poor for several reasons including stigma\, avoidance\, unpleasant side effects\, and poor accessibility. New treatments are needed for traumatic stress that can overcome these critical barriers to care while targeting the underlying biological mechanisms of the pathology. Morning light treatment has good potential as a novel non-invasive\, low risk\, scalable treatment for traumatic stress. Evidence suggests that morning light may improve traumatic stress by reducing reactivity in the amygdala\, a brain region implicated in the pathophysiology of PTSD and anatomically linked to circadian photoreceptors in the eye. This seminar will describe the results of a randomized pilot trial that provides initial proof-of-concept that light treatment can improve traumatic stress and preliminary results from an ongoing randomized clinical trial aimed at evaluating the brain mechanisms underlying morning light therapy for traumatic stress. \n  \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Chrastil\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:NBB Tenure Seminar\nJoin the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior in a hybrid seminar featuring Dr. Elizabeth Chrastil. \nAbstract:  \nNavigation is a central part of daily life. For some\, getting around is easy\, while others struggle. Some clinical populations\, such as those with Alzheimer’s Disease\, display wandering behaviors and extensive disorientation. Working at the interface between immersive virtual reality and neuroimaging techniques\, my research uses these complementary approaches to inform questions about how we acquire and use spatial knowledge. In this talk\, I will discuss both some of my recent work and current experiments that center on three main themes: 1) how we learn new environments\, 2) how the brain tracks spatial information\, and 3) how individuals differ in their spatial abilities. More broadly\, I will discuss how navigation lends insight into processes of human learning and memory. The behavioral and neuroimaging studies presented in this talk inform new frameworks for understanding spatial knowledge\, leading to novel approaches to answering the next major questions in navigation\, learning\, and memory.

SUMMARY:Georg F. Striedter\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Evolutionary Conservation versus Change in Brains and Other Biological Systems \n\n\n\nComparative neuroanatomists in recent years have made great progress in delineating the conserved “Bauplan” of vertebrate brains. However\, brains also evolved some major “new” brain regions that do not fit neatly into the conserved Bauplan view. In particular\, it appears that ray-finned fishes and amniotes have independently evolved a dorsal pallium\, which comprises the neocortex in mammals. Even for homologous brain areas\, changes in connectivity have been common – and often convergent between distantly related species\, such as primates and birds. To expand our understanding of brain evolution\, consider an analogy to evolving molecular systems. In this analogy\, highly conserved genes (including “human disease genes”) correspond to conserved brain regions\, whereas genetic losses and gains correspond to the loss and gain of major brain regions. Moreover\, molecular pathways and interactomes are analogous to neuroanatomical circuits; they\, too\, exhibit significant variation\, nicely captured by the phrase “genetic rewiring.” Because of this molecular variation\, the systems-level function(s) of individual genes and proteins can vary significantly over evolutionary time. This “causal drift” makes it difficult to extrapolate from “simple systems” to more complex networks\, and from model species to humans. Analogs of causal drift in molecular networks have been suggested also for neuronal networks (e.g. neocorticalization)\, but they have not been studied thoroughly. Filling that knowledge gap would be worthwhile.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Head\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nWhat we can learn about Alzheimer disease from people with Down syndrome \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Elizabeth Head\, professor of pathology at UC Irvine. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription:  Virtually all people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer disease neuropathology by the time they are 40 years of age.  Interestingly\, the first signs of cognitive decline may not occur until after 50 years of age\, and some people reach their 60’s without clinical decline.  By examining the brains of people with Down syndrome across the lifespan we can understand the order of events in the development of Alzheimer disease\, including when and where cerebrovascular changes and neuroinflammation occur.  Learning about the sequence of events of Alzheimer disease pathogenesis in Down syndrome will allow us to design prevention and treatment interventions.  Information learned from people with Down syndrome may in turn\, help us promote successful aging in this vulnerable group and may be translated to all people at risk of Alzheimer disease.

SUMMARY:Lisa Flanagan\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:CNLM Colloquium UCI Spotlight Series \nRegulation of early neural development by glycosylation \nJoin the CNLM in a hybrid colloquium featuring Dr. Lisa Flanagan\, Associate Professor of Neurology at UC Irvine. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom. \n \nDescription: \nDeciphering how neural stem cells function in early development to generate the cerebral cortex will help us better understand normal and disrupted brain formation and organization. We used neural stem cells\, genetic mouse models\, and innovative engineering approaches to uncover a novel role for glycosylation in directing early neural development. N-linked glycosylation of the neural stem cell plasma membrane controls neuronal and astrocytic differentiation\, likely through regulation of cell surface protein binding to extracellular ligands. Increased formation of cell surface highly-branched N-glycans promotes astrocyte generation whereas loss of these glycans disrupts neuron differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Glycosylation plays a critical and previously unrecognized role in cell differentiation and early brain development and may help to explain cellular responses to extracellular cues.
